fitting XXR 527s 18?

The lower offset have more concave the higher offset will be more flat looking

I knew that but like I said someone here said once that some rims keep the concave even if the offset changes but I don't think that's right cuz I know the same thing as you said....

[swk_cb7]

well thats your point of view and i respect that but for me its not that bad, now i rather have big wheels and be a little higher from the floor than be with small rims, slammed and braking the life out of my car hitting hard on pot holes and what not, because the L.A roads suck big time

Yea thats understandable, But theirs plenty of 2" clearance z's around your way. Plus, im in GA (horrible roads/hwy/streets) and my driveway's entrance is 4.5"h x 6-7"L at 65 degrees incline. Im okay Depends on the driver haha Just get some 16-17 and call it a day
17x10 +20

15x7 -10

his car looks nice bro and the wheels go well with the car but if its not to poky and hes running 9" wide how come he doesnt have problems like rubbing the arms in the inside?? or did he make any mods to it??

[Darkcloud]

No mods at all, no camber kits,no fender rolling,no spacers. Just natural camber from being low. from what i seen and heard no rub unless he was going in a driveway. I say he got lucky on the fitment

im sure if he were to go lower he would run into problems. just sayin, right now he hasnt had to roll the fenders.

Lol he shocks are blown and he is on ebay coilovers. But then he is on a new cb project and is doing shit right.

Between skimming through all the bickering, and chancing upon actual fact, in this thread, am I right in picking up that 17x8.25/+25's with a 205/45 or 215/45 tire will require fender rolling? Both front and rear? I'm looking at a wheel and my two options are 17x7/+35 (seems to be a safe size for stock fenders) and the aforementioned 17x8.25/+25. I'd love for the wider rims because the face is more concave, but that depends on the extent of other work involved. A staggered fitment combining the two, with the wider wheels up front, is a consideration. I'm wanting a flush look with factory-spec camber and properly-sized tires. Currently lowered 2", but another .5"-.75" or so is in my car's future.

*ED. - Answered in another thead with photos. The 17x8.25 +25 sticks out about an inch or so, while the 17x7 +35 is just shy of flush. Perhaps a 5mm spacer would set it perfect.

after i had a set of RHs reps size 18 not long ago i changed my mind and im going for 16 or 17 and x8.25 + 25 offset got a set of enkeis og 92s at the moment in 16x8 +0 and will get them redone and streched with camber as well

Yeah, he's at stock ride height. They will camber in some.once he lower it and a small roll.and pull will fit that. 1° camber = 9mm of clearance

[PR CB7]

not sure if this will help

im running all 4 ap1 wheels which are 16x7.5 +65 225/50/16
im runing a 5mm spacer for all 4 and mine rubs on the inner walls, and had to grind the knuckle and rear trailing arms


1 in gap height, 0 camber in the fron and -.5 in the rear, handling is amazing

So you guys seem to have some momentum in this conversation, maybe you all can help me.

I want to buy some wheels for my CB and I dont really get it. I mean, i understand the dimensions and what not but wheres the guideline? I want a set of rims(xxr 531, 16x8 + 20) and I dont know factually that these will fit without a bunch of fucking hassle. I want to run 205/55/16 tires on the wheel. No drop, no lowering or planned lowering. Stock ride height, stock everything in terms of suspension.

Anyone willing to educate me on the subject?


I know it needs MOAR LOW but the thing is, in Omaha, that shit doesn't fly. We have potholes that send bike riders of the front handle bars. Seriously, type of holes in the road that swallow small children and shit.

So no low for me.


please help@!!

They make 4 to 5 lug adapters. I put hundreds of sets on a year, from big rim cars to off road trucks trying to push the wheels out. And they install just as said above, bolt them on, if the stud sticks past flush, grind it flat. Then I tack weld the lug to the stud.
